Xtradecal continues its commitment to keeping models up to date with the latest markings with their new release, "RAF Update 2015-16.

 

 

Three different aircraft are covered in this release - Eurofighter Typhoon, Tornado GR.4 and BAe Hawk T.1A - making it very good value as there is probably a good chance of more than a single set of markings from this set being used.

  • Eurofighter Typhoon FGR.4 ZK315 41(R) Sqn 100th Anniversary Wg/Com S.A.Berry RAF Coningsby 2015;

  • Tornado GR.4 ZA548 31 Sqn 100th Anniversary Wg/Com J. Freeborough/Flt.Lt Lamb RAF Marham 2015;

  • BAe Hawk T.1A XX188 or XX256 208 Sqn 100th Anniversary Wg.Com Kidd, S/Ldr Arlett RAF Valley 2016

Three full set of national markings are supplied.

Instructions for the decal sheet are in full colour on one folded double-sided A4 sheet plus a single A5 cover sheet. Both side plus upper and lower views are provided for all three aircraft. Stencils are not included.

Colour notes are supplied, along with model paint callouts for Xtracolor enamels and Xtracrylix acrylics.

The decals are beautifully printed and feature thin carrier film.

 

 

This release offers some interesting and colourful options for modern RAF fans.

Highly Recommended.
